Probably depends on the desktop. I doubt the "core" of MX or MINT differ
much in size.

Had Debian on my old machine (laptop) and added MATE later. Installed
MINT with MATE on my newer PC (desktop), so no touchpad. But doubt there

few people would use MINT.

Am about to add Cinnamon to MINT at some point...
